I am just installing the hogtunes lowers. Unfortunately my Hertz SV 165.1 have not arrived. So tomorrow I will be installing a set of DD VO-6.5M in there

Do lower first and then later lids or both.

I will add a picture when I get these done. With a 1/2” spacer you can fit a few different speakers. And with the hogtunes adapters and relocating the coolant reservoir it looks like there is a pile of room in there even without spacers.
the spacer will bring the speaker flush with the front of the adapter.

I decided to follow the advice of many others and do the lowers first.

Can you provide more info on the coolant bottle relocation? Where does it get relocated to?

I have not done mine. But there is info on here. Search “coolant reservoir relocate” or something like that. Goes kinda below the seat on the brake side I believe.

I had the same problem deciding on what to do first. I ended up doing both at the same time and don’t regret spending the extra money at all.

Just installed the DD VO-6.5M in the hogtunes lowers. I needed a 1/4” spacer and then they fit with no issues. Went for a 80 mile ride right after. Sounds great!
